Contingency Fee Structure
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. This arrangement provides access to justice for clients who may not have the financial resources to pursue their case otherwise.
Under a contingency fee agreement, our fees are a percentage of the settlement or judgment we obtain for you. The percentage is typically between 33% and 40%, and it is agreed upon in advance. You are not responsible for any upfront costs, such as filing fees or expert witness fees.
Benefits of Contingency Fee Structure
- No upfront costs:You don’t have to worry about paying legal fees until you receive compensation.
- Access to justice:Even if you have limited financial resources, you can still pursue your case.
- Alignment of interests:Our firm’s financial interests are aligned with yours. We only get paid if you get paid.
Drawbacks of Contingency Fee Structure
- Higher percentage of recovery:The contingency fee percentage may be higher than hourly rates or flat fees.
- No payment if case is lost:If your case is unsuccessful, you will not be responsible for legal fees, but you will also not receive any compensation.
Ethical Considerations
Lawyers who use contingency fee structures have a duty to:
- Fully explain the terms of the agreement to clients.
- Avoid conflicts of interest.
- Act in the best interests of their clients.
